Lanier Islands Shows the Love with the Premiere of Community Days at LanierWorld

Local Cities and their Citizens are Honored with Special Tributes and Special Savings

at Southern Lakeside Destination

Buford, Ga. – April 28, 2017 – Between can drives during Give Back Thursdays and free admission for active duty military and first responders to LanierWorld, Lanier Islands has been dedicated to giving back to the community that surrounds and supports the lakeside destination. Equally devoted to continuous improvement of its facilities and services for the enjoyment of its visitors, the Islands has devised a way to take the concept of “community outreach” to an entirely new level with the debut of Community Days during Summer 2017.

“We want the people of Atlanta and surrounding cities to view us as ‘their Islands,’” explained Lanier Islands Chairman of the Board, Virgil Williams. “The closest oceanside destination is about five hours away, so we are proud to offer a scenic getaway with all the bells and whistles that’s closer to home. It’s the ideal destination for adventure or relaxation. They can spend the day or spend several nights in our LakeHouses, Villas or Legacy Lodge – which has been designated a member of the esteemed Southern Living Hotel Collection. We felt the most impactful way to make our guests truly feel like the Islands is theirs, is to honor them with Community Days – which, over the course of a weekend, pays tribute to the city where they live. The best part is, they’ll receive an invitation in the mail that affords them and up to 7 more guests with 50% off our admission to LanierWorld – our beach, boardwalk and waterpark entertainment district!”

Citizens of the following cities will want to check their mailboxes in the days leading up to their designated Community Days for details about what to expect and an invitation to save 50% off their LanierWorld admission when visiting on their select weekend. Community Day guests will also receive free front gate access ($15 value). In addition to significant savings, Community Days will comprise a main street festival feel with fun and games on the beach, community featurettes on the 5-story high HD Spectacular Screen, live entertainment, giveaways, photo opportunities with LanierWorld mascot – Bucky the Beaver and so much more. Best of all, between 1-6 p.m. during Community Days, Lanier Islands will select one lucky Community Day visitor each hour to win a Family Season Pass* to LanierWorld Summer Adventure.
